Whispering Valley Cottage Retreat

Behind the polished timber and “family-run” charm lies a heart of ice. They have a 14 day no-cancellation "policy" which blurrs the lines between legal and ethical decency and used this to keep the full $1431.90. We cancelled our stay 9 days in advance due to a genuine medical emergency — not only was our $1431.90 withheld, but every follow-up was met with silence. No compassion, no reply, just a stone wall in place of service. Their brand promises warmth; their actions deliver frostbite. If you honour compassion over policies i urge anybody who reads this to NOT make a booking with Glenn and Angela.

After a late flight, some delays and a traffic jam in Brisbane we arrived quite late at Whispering Valley Cottage. Upon arrival the fridge was stocked so we could eat something. There was even a box of delicious chocolates. The fireplace was ready to light. So it was a great welcome and furthermore a beautiful and quiet location and a nice starting point for some nice trips.

Peacefully tucked away from the hustle of the world up in the hinterland. Lovely rustic cabin a

Very well equipped cabin. The spa bath and BBQ were excellent. Waking up to that view is amazing. Very relaxing stay. A wallaby jumped onto the verandah too and we also saw a goanna. Maleny is a short drive away and has everything you need. Also recommend nearby waterfalls and Bird World.

We had a great stay. Very peaceful, the view from the deck was amazing. The fireplaces and spas were so relaxing, especially the rainforest view from the bath. Just a short drive into town to pick up some yummy things to cook on the bbq and enjoy the nature.

We had a lovely stay at Tallowood cabin at Whispering Valley Cottage Retreat. The beds were very comfortable and we melted into them. The deck was our favourite place and loved listening to the frogs, birds etc. Not a single traffic sound to be heard. The cabin had everything you would need. We opted for a breakfast tray which had oodles of food, plenty to last two breakfasts for two people. Quality was excellent. Communication with the owners was spot on, just enough and also they offered much appreciated directions to access the site which is (wonderfully) tucked out of the way. In terms of phone reception, we had Optus mobile access the whole time which was unfortunately needed as we were managing a contract of sale on our home....but also handy for scoping things to do for each day of our stay. Very much enjoyed this accommodation and would stay again in a heartbeat. Prices were also very reasonable.
